Quantitatively, Q is the out-versus-in power amplification ratio of the fusion reaction: the ratio of the amount of thermal power produced by hydrogen fusion compared to the amount of thermal power ...

Can a social media company blow the starting horn for the world’s inaugural fusion-powered energy facility? This is the ...

China's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), known as the nation's artificial sun, set a global benchmark on ...

Ohysicists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison produced a tokamak plasma that is stable at 10 times the [old] Greenwald limit. The findings may have implications for tokamak fusion reactors, though ...

Tokamak Energy has closed 2025 with three new performance records set to bring fusion that little bit closer. Its ST40 fusion ...

A Richmond-based company has achieved significant fusion neutron yield and plasma stability. General Fusion attained world-first achievements using its uniquely practical Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF ...

As the Sun and stars themselves can attest, nuclear fusion could be an essentially unlimited energy source, if we can only harness it. The problem is that the plasma used is inherently unstable, and ...

First plasma: the ST40 is a compact tokamak. (Courtesy: Tokamak Energy) The UK-based company Tokamak Energy has created the first plasma in its ST40 tokamak reactor. The firm will now complete the ...

Tokamak plasma systems hold great promise in realising practical nuclear fusion, yet their full potential is constrained by the risk of disruptions – sudden, often catastrophic, losses of plasma ...
